RE: high end
well I found this link for a book on building your own la-2a for around 500 with identical parts. he said he couldn't do the fairchild because
"One of the tubes, the 6386 is in short supply, is no longer made, there is no real equivelent and the 670 uses 8 of them in addition to other tubes. Additionally, there are 7 transformers in it, some of which are no longer made (and transformers are expensive)."
si i guess this is why no one has done a modern knock of of the unit.
The internals on the la-2a look easy enough to put one together with jsut a soldering iron a drill and some needle nose plyers. I am only aprehensive about testing it if it doesn't work the first power up because of a fault in a part or somthing. anyway, here is the link.
and milan, what are some of the other modern 1176 types of limiters available? I am looking into a stereo unit if possible. I saw a la22 on ebay for under a $1000. Can't find any info on the unit though
